IMPROVEMENT IN CHILDRENS CARRIAGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,394, dated October5, 1875 application led April 3, 187 5.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEONARD B. EARRING- TON, Jr., of Boston, in thecounty of Suffolk and State of` Massachusetts, have invented a new andImproved Childs Carriage, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a side view ofthe bodyof my improved childs carriage; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section,and Fig. 3 a rear elevation, of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention relates to an improved body of a childs carriage, by whichthe same may be made with rounded sides and back, in perfectlyself-supporting manner, without stitten ing-ribs, stays, or frame-workat the inside; and the invention consists in the connection of the lowerside and rounded-oiI back section With the upper side and rounded topback section at a nearly horizontal joint, and at suitable bevel orangle in vertical direcrection. v

In the drawing illustrating my invention, A represents the lower part orsection of the body of my childs carriage, which is firmly secured tothe bent bottom part B, of wood or other material, in any suitablemanner, at an obtuse angle, as shown in4 Figs. l and 2.

The straight sides of the lower section A are connected by a rounded-offback part, of bent wood or other material, to the upper edge of which isnailed, riveted, or otherwise secured at a nearly horizontal joint, byan outside rib, D, and at a bevel or obtuse angle in vertical direction,the sides andy bent top back ot' the upper part or section O, whichforms with the lower part a We1l-braced and self-supporting body withoutthe use of interior ribs, stays, or traine-work. The rounded-off backofthe body is thus made in light and elegant manner, capable of beingneatly and substantially finished of bent wood ot' suitable strength, anouter join t-covering strip and upper edge-strip imparting the requiredornamental appearance to the same, so as to form a carriage-body ofsimple yet strong and durable construction.

I have already made an application for a design patent on the ornamentalconfiguration of my carriage-body; but

What I now claim is- The combination of body A B and top section O, thetwo secured together on their conjoined edges by an outside rib, D, asand for the purpose speciiied.
